New data suggests small publishers (10k daily pageviews or less) are hit hardest by search traffic declines
—Chatbots only drive 1% of all traffic referrals, so they can't make up the gap
—News sites get most page views from AI platforms, but the lowest engagement

This is the work that can’t be replicated by AI or pursued by a reporter with a Substack. It requires time - during which a reporter isn’t producing a lot of copy. Building trust with sources so you can tell sensitive stories, that’s a process that doesn’t scale.

"Nearly five years." Investigative journalism takes years and years. The investment is immense, and always worth it, and, in the era of "hot takes" and ephemeral "content," rigorously reported journalistic work is needed more than ever. We must keep supporting investigative journalism. From @mannyNYT, lead reporter of the blockbuster piece on Cesar Chavez ⤵️

This is totally insane.
A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome.
He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were.
This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice.
This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff.
The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters.
When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering.

This video posted by the official Persian account of the Israeli government claims to show a member of the Basij paramilitary force on the streets of Tehran being targeted by a strike.
But it's AI-generated. Follow this thread to find out how we can verify that it's AI.

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 18 March
This video, viewed over 3 million times, claims to show USS Abraham Lincoln on fire after being struck by Iranian missiles.
The video is AI-generated. It's not real.

Baseless claims that this video is AI-generated (it isn't) because in it Benjamin Netanyahu "has six fingers" (he doesn't), and that he is actually dead (he isn't), have racked up millions upon millions of views on this platform.
None of those claims are true.

אתמול במסיבת העיתונאים עמדתי על היעדים הברורים של המערכה: פגיעה במשטר הטרור באיראן, המשך המאבק מול שלוחותיו, והבטחת ביטחונה ועתידה של ישראל. אנחנו לא מחכים. אנחנו יוזמים, אנחנו תוקפים ואנחנו עושים זאת בעוצמה. צפו בדברים המלאים >>

This video, claims to show Tehran residents projecting an Israeli flag on a block "as a message of gratitude", is fake.
It seems to have been generated with AI based on this real clip of Tehran's Ekbatan district. The audio has been lifted from 1:10.

This is unbelievable. An Israeli flag is projected onto a building in Ekbatan, Tehran, as a message of gratitude. Iranians are risking their lives to communicate their voices over western suppression. Almost didn’t post this because I thought it was AI, but AI says it is not AI.

This image of Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, which has been widely published by Iranian media today and now appears on his new X account, appears to have been manipulated with AI.
Google's SynthID finds watermarks in it that indicate it has been edited using Google AI.
A cropped reverse image search finds what appears to be the original version of the photo published several years ago.
It shows Mojataba at a pro-government rally. The background and those surrounding him seem to have been edited and removed using AI.
